Princeton Public Library’s Teen Advisory Board and redefy, the area teen organization working to defy stereotypes and embrace acceptance, are set to present a discussion of “Wonder” by R.J. Palacio and a screening of “Bend It Like Beckham” on Saturday, April 5 at 4 p.m.
Copies of “Wonder” are available in the Youth Services Department on the library’s third floor. The best-selling book tells the story of a 10-year-old boy with a jarring facial deformity who is attending regular school for the first time.
In “Bend It Like Beckham,” Jessminder Bharma is an 18-year-old living in west London. A daughter of Punjabi Sikhs, and a gifted soccer player, Jess goes behind her parents’ backs to play the game when, because she is female and Indian, they forbid her to play.
